Clinton Avoiding Media on Campaign

"It has been 76 days since Hillary Clinton held a press conference or gaggled with her traveling press."

Hillary Clinton is running an anything-but-open campaign when it comes to the media. The presidential hopeful that once used a rope to hold reporters back has not taken a question from the traveling press in 76 days.

CNN's Dan Merica, currently embeded with the Clinton campaign, revealed the news on Twitter:

For this counting (@amychozick): It has been 76 days since Hillary Clinton held a press conference or gaggled with her traveling press.

The Clinton campaign's defense over her press avoidance has been the number of questions she answers at townhall events. However, townhalls are tightly controlled events with most questions coming from supporters rather than media outlets that might ask skeptical questions.
